Nimiq is a layer 1 payment blockchain designed to run natively in the web browser, so a wallet can connect directly to the network without installing a separate node. NIM is its native coin, used for payments, fees and staking under Nimiq's Albatross proof-of-stake consensus. It matters because Nimiq targets a problem most blockchains leave to third parties: making self-custodial crypto payments feel as simple as a normal web app, including swaps with Bitcoin and stablecoins inside the wallet.
The Nimiq litepaper describes the project as "a simple, secure and censorship-resistant payment protocol, native to the web." Its protocol is written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, which lets browser clients take part in the network directly rather than trusting a hosted server.
On top of the chain, Nimiq builds a payment ecosystem: the Nimiq Wallet for buying, staking and swapping, a multisig wallet for shared accounts, Nimiq Pay for everyday use and merchant acceptance, and tools like a tip bot and a payment-link service.
The project is run by the Nimiq team and the Nimiq Foundation, which holds a long-term endowment in NIM. The litepaper does not list individual founders, so check official channels for current team information.
Nimiq 2.0 uses Albatross, a proof-of-stake algorithm designed for high throughput with fast finality. Block production is divided into epochs made up of micro blocks followed by a macro block. Anyone with stake can become a validator by locking NIM as a security deposit that can be slashed for misbehaviour; validators are chosen based on their stake and a random beacon.
According to Nimiq's Albatross page, the design supports roughly one-second transaction confirmation and peak performance of over 1,000 transactions per second, with 512 validator slots per epoch assigned in proportion to stake. The same page lists a validator deposit of 100,000 NIM and delegation from as little as 100 NIM, noting that such parameters can change.
The network has two client types sharing one Rust codebase: backbone clients on servers and desktops that do most of the work, and browser clients that let ordinary users connect directly from a web page.
NIM has a fixed total supply of 21 billion NIM, which is Bitcoin's 21 million multiplied by 1,000. The smallest unit is the Luna, and 100,000 Luna equal 1 NIM, so the supply equals 21e14 Luna, the same number of base units as Bitcoin has in satoshis.
Supply distribution from the litepaper:
NIM is used to send payments, pay network fees, stake as a validator or delegate to one, and swap against other assets from the wallet.
Compared with Nano, which also targets fast, cheap payments, Nimiq uses validator staking with rewards and focuses on in-browser clients and cross-chain swaps. Compared with Stellar, which is aimed at institutions, anchors and asset issuance, Nimiq concentrates on retail self-custody and web usability. Unlike Litecoin or Dash, Nimiq no longer relies on proof-of-work mining.
Security comes from Albatross proof-of-stake: validators put NIM at stake and can be slashed for producing conflicting blocks, and delays trigger another validator to produce the block. Transactions use Ed25519 Schnorr signatures, and accounts use hierarchical key derivation. Nimiq runs a public bug bounty programme, and its litepaper says code must pass peer review and internal testing before release.
Nimiq is one of the few layer 1 projects built specifically around web-native, self-custodial payments. Its mix of browser nodes, fixed supply and protocol-level swaps shows a different path from general-purpose smart contract chains.
NIM can be bought and swapped inside the Nimiq Wallet, and it also trades on centralized exchanges. Because NIM runs on its own blockchain, make sure any exchange supports native NIM deposits and withdrawals, and use addresses that start with "NQ".
